SHIRLEY TEMPLE AND TELL Apropos of thie confusion existing in tiie minds of both members of the armed services and civilians. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower testified before a joint meeting of the house and senate January 15 that all men in the army with two years' service would be on their way out by July 1, 1946. He further said that, veterans and civilians who are now complaining have no reason to expect discharge for another three or 'four months under the original demobilization program set up. by Gep. George C. Marshall as chief of staff. Although further cut in number of points eligible for discharge may come within-the frext few weeks, as of January 15, discharge points necessary tot the army remains at 50 for enlisted men and 70 for officers,. : • General MacArthur has announced that the point score for men under his command is 48 for unlisted men and 68 fgy officers. These figured apply to all who Ka3 earned that number of points as of September 2, 1945. It is pointed out at the war department that each theater commander has the authority to reduce the point score for discharge. War department heads agree that discharge of veterans is proceeding at a rate that is too fast for theefficiency and safety of the army and replacements are not coming fast enough although training of replacements has been cut from 17 to 13 weeks. _ Questions and Answer• Q. I was discharged from the regular army in January, 1944, and now I would like to put in another, hitch, but because of a. paragraph in my discharge papers am unable to. It reads: "Is not recommended for re-enlistment, induction or reinduction. Sec. 8. AR 615-360." How can I have this fixed and re-enlist? --Reader, Albertville, Ala. A. Section 8 of army regulations to which you refer means that you .are unfit for military service and will not be accepted, according to the war department. Q. What does a man in the army I get discharge points for? If married, bnt no children, is the wife considered a dependent? Are any discharge points allowed for her?-- Mrs. B. J. D., Mt. Sterling, Ohio. A. Discharge points in the army are allowed for service in this country and overseas, for minor children (not more than three) and for decorations or battle stars. A wife is considered a dependent in so far as family allowance is concerned but not for discharge points. Q. I heard any one in service onder 20 years of age can get a disj charge to.attend school even if he J hasn't enongh points. Is this true? I --Mrs. O. S., Lewistown, 111. | A. No discharge is granted -to permit a man under age to attend school. He may go to school at the t army institute in this country or to I any one of the courses which have been instituted overseas. Q. We are the parents of two t hoys who served their country, one j three years in the army, the other } almost foar years in the navy. The I father is 55 and mother, 49. We ] do not own gny property and live • in one of the boy'? bome. 7U a saw mill and ' taade 50 cents an hour. When the boys went Into service, we thought if we could ret by without starring we would not draw from ihe govern- 1 ment on them. We had one single girl in school and one 13-year-old boy in school. We did get by and did not starve, but it took every cent to do so and keep the two in school. Would it have been dishonest to have drawn on one of the boys? If not, could we get it yet? They are both honorably discharged.-- Mr. and Mrs. P. H., Valley Head, Ala. A. It certainly would not have been dishonest for you to take an allotment from one or both of your boys for the allotment would have been entirely voluntary on their part out of their pay and the amount they voluntarily set aside for you would have been matched by the government. You cannot get it now, since they are discharged. Q. My husband had war bond allotments taken from his pay which he received when he was discharged at Indiantown Gap, Pa. Would like to know where to write, since he has nut received his bonds. --Mrs. W. W. R., Millmont, Pa. A. Write to the war bond division, U. S. army, 4300 Goodfellow blvd., St. Louis 20, Mo. Q. If a man has enough points for discharge is there any way regular navy man can be released If he hasn't served his full six-year enlistment?--Wife, Duluth, Minn. A. The navy says, "No." DOUCE Lieutenant Moore tried to assume p stern expression as he looked down at the little old lady fill the honse to tell his folks, Mr. Fire seems to be the thing in this cold watlwr tetely, folks.

In the afternoon Jimmy Sales came running standing before him, "You say you are an impostor and that you want to give yourself up?" he asked kindly. "Now just who was it you imposed- on, Mrs. Murray?" "On my jcountry, Your Honor," she replied. \|n spite of her determined air she could not keep her voice from trembling. "I didn't mean any harm. You see, sir, I'm a widow without any children and it all started when I began to walk in the park evenings to get a little air "The boys in service are such fine looking young men. When I heard them laughing and talking I used to pretend that one of them was mine, especially when he would say something about writings home to Mom." Her voice broke a little and she blinked rapidly before beginning anew. "The next thing I did was to start noticing the mailman. Every day he brings a letter from overseas to some house on the block; I* know because I watch him from behind the curtain. "I envied everyone who has a little service flag in the window until I couldn't bear it any longer. I bought one and hung it in my own window, even though I had no right to.

Of course I never post it because I haven't anyone to send it to, but it makes me feel nil h*T%" • and Mrs. Leo Sales, that their car was on fir*.

"Here, now!" The policeman came from behind the desk and put his arm around her. "I guess we all make believe once in a while." "Not wrong?" She stared at him incredulously. "Why, I saw in the. paper that it's wrong to pretend when it concerns your country. This precinct was mentioned, that's why I came here." She dug down into her bag and handed him a newspaper clipping. BOY IMPOSTOR JAILED Last night police arrested George Marlin of 32 Chester street. The 18- year-old youth, an orphan, is charged with illegally wearing an army uniform and will be arraigned tomorrow morning at the 2nd precinct. The policeman laughed. "That's different, Mrs. Murray, and even that worked out all right. At first the boy was turned down for some minor defect and he was 'self-conscious because he couldn't get in the army. The judge suspended sentence when he found out the boy's motive, and the army was willing to accept him for limited service/' He looked at the clipping again and whistled. "Wait a minute. There's something here I didn't see before." He turned to the attendant. "Mike, bring that boy out again, I want to speak to him." Mrs. Murray looked up, frightened; "Officer, I hope I haven't made trouble for him by coming here." The lieutenant didn't answer but he smiled as the boy approached. Georg^, this is Mrs. Murray," he began by way of introduction. "She is arj impostor, too, and in a "sense an orphan like yourself." The youth seemed puzzled, looking from one to the other. You are hereby ordered to write to her twice a week and to adopt her as your service mother. Do you agree?" "Gosh!" George blurted out, "I'll say I agree--that is, if Mrs. Murray really wants me to. Gee, I'll be getting letters like the rest of the fellows--just as if 1 had folks!" Mrs. Murray threw her arms around his neck. "Write to me quickly, George. Write as soon as you find out where you will be stationed." Then she hurried out the door. The lieutenant noticed George's bewilderment at her quick departure. "She's in a hurry, George," he said. "She has a mighty important flag to hang up."
